Lot Description

The Baroque Consignment. Seldom do well-toned proof coins have an easy time of attaining any sort of "cameo" designation at either service, but once in a while, it's easy to make that call. The cameo effect couldn't be more noticeable for this proof-only specimen, because ebony-grey generally endows the surface, except, as it turns out, on the devices, where ivory frost makes its presence felt. Light hairlines flutter into the fields very gently to more or less determine the grade. A marvelous strike brings out all of the finest details not typically found on a circulation strike, including virtually the entire complement of hair details, aside from extremely faint softness between a couple of hair strands.
